That bottom pic is something called a Luther. It was named after Luther Vandross, who denied having ever eaten one.
I can’t stand it when people order “a Panini”. It’s “a panino”. Panini is the plural. Get it right, people!

The original infographic clearly says toppings in all cases, though.
However to quote Shakespeare “Butty me no butties”!

The chip butty is a weird one, because there’s no US equivalent.

Just the fact that its name has a Pittsburgh English IPA transcription makes me want to try this sandwich.

Ingredients? Where are we on Sandwich Fixins? I think I’ve slid into the latter usage somewhat. I mean, I know where the USDA stands on fixins, but in terms of sandwiches, I may be commiting casual acts of heresy…
I would say a sandwich is made up of layers that can be defined planarly. Pockets or cylinders need not apply.
To expound on the hot dog, you would have to separate the bun, and slice the contents to achieve planar orientation of any toppings and qualify as a sandwich. An unadulterated dog with traditional toppings inherently organizes itself in a non-planar fashion.
edit: to complete a sandwich , there must be some kind of enveloping layer that is repeated.

i’ve known people to call it a “grillswith”
Certainly, if it’s the last one and there’s 2 still hungry stomachs.
So what if you sandwich a bunch of oreos between two waffles, with the oreos covered with marshmallow creme and the whole thing covered in maple syrup?

Does folding pizza like a New Yorker does make it a sandwich?

Does not.

Yes it does.

In that situation it would be appropriate to say “oreos sandwiched between two waffles,” but that’s still not a proper sandwich any more than a threesome is a proper sandwich.
